Hmmmm, really? If I ever decided that I were going to call 3-seconds (not bloody likely!), it seems to me that pump fakes (especially multiple pump fakes) are not part of a "move to the basket". Rather, the player has stopped his move and is now trying to put the defender at a greater disadvantage. It seems that if you allow a pump fake, you have to allow two, which means that you ought to allow three, which means. . . . Am I wrong about that?

In my opinion, yes.
I agree with TH and Jeff -- allow the pump fakes, get the violation if a shot isn't taken (or call 5-seconds).
